Utopia Bedding Gusseted Bed Pillows, Queen, Set of 2
A cheap, thick pair of polyester pillows with an awkward break in period and mixed durability.
The short version
- Side and back sleepers who like a high pillow
- Guest rooms or anyone furnishing on a budget
- People who avoid down and feather fill
- You sleep on your stomach and want a thin pillow
- You want a pillow you can machine wash without worry
- You need a firm pillow that will not compress over time
What owners like
- Soft, plush feel on first use
- Thick enough to support the head and neck for side sleepers
- Low price for a two pack
- Stays cooler than some foam pillows, per one hands-on reviewer
Common complaints
- Arrives vacuum packed and needs 48 to 72 hours to fluff up
- Slight smell when first unpacked
- Some find it too thick, and some report it flattening with use
- Spot cleaning is advised by some sources, which is less convenient

What it does
A two pack of queen size polyester fiber pillows with a gusseted side panel that helps them keep their height.
- Gusseted side panel meant to hold the pillow's shape and loft
- Polyester microfiber fill, no down or feathers
- Double stitched edges with piping
- Sold as suitable for side, back and stomach sleepers
A low cost pair of thick pillows that suits back and side sleepers who want plenty of loft. The trade-offs are an initial smell and fluffing period, some reports of flattening over time, and unclear care advice that varies by listing.

Questions
Are Utopia Bedding pillows machine washable?
Sources disagree. The Target listing says machine wash and tumble dry, while Utopia's own page says hand washable and The Comfy Beddy advises spot cleaning only. A washable pillow protector avoids the question.
Are these pillows firm or soft?
Reviewers describe them as plush but medium firm, with a lot of height. Target lists them as soft.
How long do they take to fluff up?
The Comfy Beddy reviewer found they needed 48 to 72 hours after unpacking, and suggests a low heat dryer cycle with tennis balls.
What are they filled with?
Polyester microfiber, with a polycotton cover.
